"I must see if I can't find a more or less decent giant to block it up again," said Gandalf, "or soon there will be no getting over the mountains at all."

mormegil · 08-08-2005, 10:59 PM

Very well done and might I say good guess with the I. I'm thinking that's what helped. What with giant and mountain being a bit easier. Fantastic job however.

Unbelieveable! I've stumped you for this long?

I knew using obscure quotes would help.

Guinevere · 08-11-2005, 02:30 PM

I think I've got it (more or less)...

"The dread that haunted the great Tower, and fear of the glooms of Fangorn that lay behind it, might protect it for a while, but if it were unmanned and neglected, as it was in the latter days of the stewards, that protection would not long avail."

It's about Orthanc, somewhere in UT, but I haven't found it yet. Is this just narrative, or is it really said by a person?

Edit: I've found it now, It's in U.T, " The Battles of the Fords of Isen", in appendix (ii), and as I suspected, it's just narrative.
Obscure indeed!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-11-2005, 07:13 PM

I knew normal quotes qould be no match for you guys, so I decided to raise the bar by using the obscurest quotes I could find! And nothing is more obscurer than the UT appendix.

Unless it's an endnote.

Yeah.

Your thread, Guinevere.
